We need to sign a left back and put Brittain at right back on his natural foot. Pickering has always been a weak link and teams are starting to expose JRC's defensive awareness. The irony of today is we were forced to take both Pickering and Dolan out of the starting 11 and looked no weaker with ten men. 10 Quote

It should be something we're well-drilled to combat already. Granted today it didn't look like it. I think it's a situation to me when a footballing brain should kick in. If a striker drops deep his marker shouldn't automatically go with him rather than that he should understand that it could well be a ploy to move him out of position. Once is excusable but today it happened several times and really left us exposed. 1 Quote
Ghost7 Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 That second goal is horrific from Carter, so slow, and a bizarre bit of goalkeeping. The Pickering mess looks as bad on a replay as it did in person, amateur stuff. What an idiot. Signings are needed!!! 1 Quote

Doesn’t mean he’d have saved it, but would’ve given their player more to think about and MIGHT have saved or made him miss the target. To be fair, I haven’t seen it on the tv highlights yet. At the game, I just saw the lad clean through and expected him to put it away, which sadly, he did and at the time, I wasn’t looking at Pears just bemoaning the hopeless lack of elementary defending.

Feels like we're missing some vital leadership and experience at the back - probably why we've been trying to get someone like Batth in. I think Hyam is a solid enough CB, but you do wonder if he needs a more experienced head beside him to get the best out of him. You'd ideally like him to to be fulfilling that role at 27, but I'm not sure he's vocal enough to lead the back line. 2 Quote

Several of us actually questioned whether Hyam was injured today such was his lack of mobility. It was basic, elementary centre half duties he was failing in. Quote

It was basic, elementary centre half duties he was failing in. It's a strange one because he definitely has the ability - we've all seen it, he can be excellent. It's possible he's playing with a niggle, might be that he's lost some confidence, might be that he needs someone beside him to give instructions. I'm not sure. Regardless, we've conceded two or more goals in 3/4 games so far this season (cup included), so something isn't working. Quote

This is a point I made last week about Pears - A lot of goals we concede aren't his fault (like the Szmodic pass last week) but there is zero confidence of him saving or putting off the striker. We just accept they score from those situations. 3 Quote

Enjoy his performance, he'll let you down next time apart from the six or seven matches he decides to turn up. Quote

The side that started the game for us today is more than capable of gettin in a relegation scrap. Pickerings pathetic athletic ability is always a danger. We are going nowhere JRC looked drunk today, all over the place, couldn’t control the ball, shooting laughable. Mercer’s splinter account? Quote

Same here, and it didn't get mentioned on radio Lancs on the way home. It's surprising what you can see when you really want to see it. Edited August 19, 2023 by M_B Quote
neophox Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 Looked on the replay and the tackle on Wharton was an obvious penalty. New signings needed asap... 2 Quote

Sounds a little frustrated with his own team and possibly aware we could/should have edged it. I always liked him as the EFL pundit and think he has a bright future as a manager. He’s got Hull playing some good stuff and brought some decent players in, I think they will have a decent season. 1 Quote
Backroom DE. Posted August 19, 2023 Backroom Posted August 19, 2023 To be honest I'd rather we'd won 1-0 and Rosenior was moaning about us being shithouses. Loved the good old bully boys days, pissing off the likes of Wenger, Benitez and Ferguson. Do whatever it takes, within reason, to get the result - and as fans, we all knew we were better than the tag, and it was lovely to see the big boys crying over getting a bloody nose from little old Rovers. 9 Quote
